I would like to personally say a big thank you to Francis Scarborough and Ian Spearman for their help with finances, registrations and appointment of league officials. They have been fantastic as always. Also, to all our league referees but especially Ian, Shervin Farzeneh, Jim Hartston and Aaron Carpanini who covered 90% of the league fixtures this year between them. Without our officials this league would simply not exist.

I hope everyone will be looking forward to some well-deserved time off to relax but I’m sure anticipation is already building for next season! I would like to organise a league review meeting to take place between now and the AGM in the Summer and will be contacting teams with details about this. Any new teams who are interested in joining the SBL should get in touch gallowaym@btc.ac.uk.

Once again, thank you all for another great year.
